Intensified continental chemical weathering and carbon-cycle perturbations linked to volcanism during the Triassic-Jurassic transition

Jun Shen et al.

Summary: Direct evidence of intense chemical weathering induced by volcanism is rare in sedimentary successions. In this study, the authors analyzed two well-dated Triassic-Jurassic boundary sections and found increasing chemical index of alteration (CIA) in association with mercury (Hg) peaks near the boundary, indicating volcanism-induced intensification of continental chemical weathering. The interval of enhanced chemical weathering lasted for approximately 2 million years, consistent with carbon-cycle model results. Furthermore, the data suggest that high-latitude continental settings are more sensitive to shifts in weathering intensity during climatic warming events compared to low/middle-latitude sites.

Intrusions induce global warming before continental flood basalt volcanism

Xiaochuan Tian et al.

Summary: High-precision geochronology from the Deccan Traps and the Columbia River Basalt Group suggests that global warming precedes major flood basalt eruptions by several hundred thousand years. A numerical model of sill intrusion reveals that main-phase eruptions occur when the average density above the sill intrusion is greater than the magma density. Combining the model with a carbon-cycle simulation, it is concluded that major eruptions of continental flood basalts require densification of the crust by voluminous basaltic magma intrusions, which could release enough carbon dioxide to drive substantial global warming before the main phase of flood basalt volcanism.

Flood basalt buildup warms climate

Jennifer Kasbohm

Summary: Flood basalts are linked to severe environmental crises on Earth, and it has been observed that warming can occur before surface eruptions. Modelling suggests that the release of significant amounts of CO2 from basalt intrusions into the Earth's crust contributes to this pre-eruptive warming.

Subducted organic matter buffered by marine carbonate rules the carbon isotopic signature of arc emissions

S. Tumiati et al.

Summary: Ocean sediments mainly consist of calcium carbonate and organic matter. When subducted, some carbon is released as CO2 in arc magmas. This study challenges the assumption that the isotopic signature of CO2 reflects the organic/inorganic carbon fraction, and demonstrates that it is mainly controlled by the ratio of CO2 to CaCO3.

What triggered the Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME)? Perspectives from geobiology and biogeochemical modeling

Junpeng Zhang et al.

Summary: Recent studies have linked an oceanic anoxic event during the Hirnantian to the Late Ordovician mass extinction. However, the extent and duration of the event remain uncertain, as well as the impact of oceanic anoxia on marine ecosystems. This study investigates previously unstudied sections in South China to gather data on iron speciation and sulfur isotope signatures, providing a global and local perspective on oceanic redox conditions during this period. The results suggest that glacio-eustatic variation and enhanced pyrite burial contributed to the oxygenation of shallow-water environments, while decreased isotopic fractionation indicates low oceanic sulfate levels. Correlations with marine faunal diversity data suggest that oceanic anoxia may not have been the sole trigger of the mass extinction. Overall, this study contributes new insights into the processes of the Late Ordovician mass extinction and the relationship between oceanic anoxia events and mass extinctions over geological history.

Ordovician-Silurian volcanism in northern Iran: Implications for a new Large Igneous Province (LIP) and a robust candidate for the Late Ordovician mass extinction

Morteza Derakhshi et al.

Summary: This study reports for the first time a series of voluminous intraplate volcanic events in Iran, which may be a key factor contributing to the Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME). The volcanic events occurred during the initial rifting of the Paleotethys Ocean and have been identified through fieldwork and dating techniques. The researchers suggest that these volcanic activities represent remnants of a newly proposed Large Igneous Province (LIP) and played a significant role in the environmental and climatic changes associated with LOME.

Enhanced phosphorus recycling during past oceanic anoxia amplified by low rates of apatite authigenesis

Nina M. Papadomanolaki et al.

Summary: Enhanced phosphorus recycling due to ocean deoxygenation under past greenhouse climates led to widespread organic carbon burial and reduced atmospheric CO2 levels. Low rates of apatite authigenesis in organic-rich sediments in ancient settings explain the amplified phosphorus recycling, and future changes in temperature and ocean biogeochemistry may increase phosphorus availability further.

Summary: This study presents new simulations of pCO(2) and surface temperatures during the Ordovician period and finds that the intense cooling trend observed during this period cannot be fully explained. Inverse modeling suggests that the degassing necessary to reach Early Ordovician temperatures is three-to-five times higher than modern values, and the solid Earth degassing must be reduced to modern-day levels within a short period of time to simulate the subsequent cooling trend.

Mercury isotope evidence for a non-volcanic origin of Hg spikes at the Ordovician-Silurian boundary, South China

Jun Shen et al.

Summary: High mercury concentrations in the Ordovician-Silurian transition sections of South China come from the uptake of mercury from seawater.

Seawater sources of Hg enrichment in Ordovician-Silurian boundary strata, South China

Yangbo Lu et al.

Summary: The Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME) occurred in two discrete pulses, linked to environmental stresses caused by the onset and termination of the Hirnantian Glaciation. Recent studies have suggested a potential connection between LOME and massive volcanism during the Ordovician-Silurian transition (OST), based on significant mercury anomalies in the South China region. However, the study finds that volcanic activity in South China during the OST was a regional phenomenon, and there is a discrepancy between the distribution of bentonite beds and the overall redox evolution in the region. Mercury isotope analysis suggests that seawater was the source of mercury enrichment during the OST. Therefore, the LOME may not have been caused by massive volcanism, but rather by long-term cooling, weathering, anoxia, and marine eutrophication.

Is volcanic ash responsible for the enrichment of organic carbon in shales? Quantitative characterization of organic-rich shale at the Ordovician-Silurian transition

Ke Zhao et al.

Summary: Subaerial volcanism and atmospheric volcanic ash deposition can greatly affect the nutrient content and redox conditions of the surface ocean. Study of volcanic ash and shale samples from the Ordovician-Silurian transition reveals anoxic and high-productivity environments, with leaching removing significant amounts of Fe, Si, and P from the volcanic ash, potentially enhancing marine primary productivity. The preservation of organic matter was influenced by redox conditions, with volcanic ash serving as a dominant nutrient source for primary productivity.

Strong local, not global, controls on marine pyrite sulfur isotopes

V Pasquier et al.

Summary: Understanding the variations in sulfur isotopic composition of sedimentary pyrite is essential due to the crucial role of sulfur biogeochemistry in regulating the Earth's surface oxidation state. Recent research reveals that local depositional conditions significantly impact the delta S-34(pyr) values, challenging the previous interpretation of stratigraphic variations as global biogeochemical cycling changes. The study demonstrates strong local controls on delta S-34(pyr) and calls for a reevaluation of using these variations to infer global changes in Earth's surface environment.

Summary: Mercury is gaining importance as a proxy for large igneous province (LIP) volcanism in the sedimentary record. To overcome challenges in using Mercury as a proxy, measurements from diverse depositional environments and simultaneous use of Mercury stable isotope ratios are recommended. Different depositional environments impact how Mercury anomalies are expressed in ancient marine sedimentary rocks, highlighting the need for careful interpretation of Mercury/TOC ratios as a fingerprint of LIP magmatism.
